(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lydia Monks. A boy tries various schemes to escape the scary dog next door, including walking on stilts, sailing by with an umbrella, and using a cat for bait (humorous in context). Luckily, the cat makes friends with Mad Dog, leading the boy to try the friendly approach, too. Whimsical collage illustrations accompany the snappy first-person narrative.
